For almost three centuries now, the Rodez family has been attached to the land of Champagne, and more particularly to the terroir of Ambonnay and its charming little village, whose narrow streets are lined by the walls of the wine estates.
Eric Rodez and his wife Martine have been farming 6 hectares of vines according to the principles of Organic Farming and Biodynamics for several years, and have since handed over to their son Mickael, who embodies the ninth generation.
The Rodez family comes from a long line of winegrowers where each generation has contributed to chiseling the sumptuous terroir where they are based, so that it expresses all its richness.

Respect for and full development of the vines have always been a daily concern for them, which is why Eric Rodez committed its Domaine to converting to organic and biodynamic farming in 2009.

The Champagne Empreinte Noire 2011 is a cuvée that reflects the very essence of the Eric Rodez house and its interpretation of the Grand Cru terroir of Ambonnay. While this wine is made from a blend of 5 to 7 parcels from Domaine, it transcends its own definition of ''vin de terroir'' and brilliantly expresses the vintage in which it was born.
Composed entirely of Pinot Noir, this Champagne embodies Maison Rodez's personal interpretation of the Ambonnay terroir. The winemaking method is rigorously designed to pRéserver the wine's authenticity and uniqueness: vinification in small oak barrels, no malolactic fermentation, and no industrial chilling or filtration.
On tasting, Empreinte Noire 2011 reveals a unique profile marked by the richness and depth of Pinot Noir. This Champagne offers a complex aromatic palette and a character that reflects both the power and finesse of its grape variety.
The careful vinification and aging it benefits from give it distinct aromas and a well-defined structure. As a result, this cuvée will appeal to lovers of authentic, singular Champagnes, and will initiate beautiful pairings with refined dishes that will balance its richness and complexity.
